    My main complaint about OneDrive now is that you can't just click a box and upload. For Windows 7 you need to have the program installed, which then designates a folder that synchs with the online storage. That's fine for if I am on that one computer, but then I can't use other computers to upload files to that.

    I would consider them partially the same, or fairly similar. An account is more than just what its name is. Personally, I handle workgroup sharing in one of two ways: 1. On the host, add the ComputerName\Account of the client to a User Group. That group then is what is assigned share permissions. Using a group allows you to add multiple remote accounts into it without having to revisit permissions per user. 2. On the host, create a local useraccount for a client to use to log into a share.

    That's exactly what happens if you update Windows 8 to 8.1 from the Store. It downloads the entire OS and then ports everything over. It is not a method I would prefer.

    I've seen this happening on Windows 7 systems recently. Some update is included that makes the Service Pack appear and the reason being is a pre-requisite is missing. I know what it is for Windows 7 because I have done the testing for it... It was a manual labor-type task.

    An experienced answer is... it depends on the company and how they are doing things. An outsider may view their practices as being incorrect. Another answer is that "your account" (if it is a domain or email account) is not really yours, it is owned by the company. If it were me, I would say that there is no reason to know a user's password. I feel that writing down passwords is fairly secure... maybe not so much on a sticky note.

    Your results show 10 but only showing 6. What happens if you click "See more results."

    Easy pass for me. Maybe when they hire someone to proofread their blurbs I might consider.

    The ideal situation would be to create an account in AD which only has the ability to join PCs to the domain. This account would not have access to network shares or any other sensitive admin functions. Then there would be no problem leaving a plain-text password in your XML. Otherwise, if you create your answer file with WSIM, and set the PlainText to be false, WSIM will hash the password when you save the .XML.

    Drivers are a simple approach. You find the Hardware ID for the device you want to install, then find which driver has that HwID in it. There are various ways to get the HwID, from installing another OS, booting a PE and running something like DevManView, or booting DOS and running PCISCAN.

    In MS world, Downgrade is a licensing term. Server and Desktop OS are on separate paths. I do not think you can do a repair install with an XP Pro disc on an existing installation of Server 2003. It might be possible to trick the installer, but that would be work for some testing system and NOT something you'd want to do on a production system.

    Windows XP is going the way of FrankenWindows, just like Win9x... where you have parts of other OSes mixed in.

    I have never heard of a problem with servers of different CPU manufacturers being in the same network.

    You should post some of the things you have tried.

    I think it is technically possible. I have read that you can force the OOBE application to hide the page... but this would be going against what the OS is designed to do. I would not use it in an enterprise environment. What is the trouble a local account would create?

    Looks like you posted this question all over the place! This looks like a good start: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/8617d344-e43b-4bd1-afc6-1eff45ad4fe1/ad-corruption-thanks-for-your-help?forum=winservergen

    This has been a problem over the life of the product. I've not seen it personally myself, so I have not been able to find out what exactly is going on. If anyone knows a sure-fire way to get Windows 8.x to be stuck in this "black screen with cursor" state, I can try to replicate and troubleshoot. PS: It isn't always caused by an update. Sometimes you can install a program and have this happen. One user recently reported this happening with the StartIsBack trial. So I think it might be a symptom of a larger problem and you can have different scenarios to trigger it.

    Honestly, this is how it should be done.... block everything with exceptions. Firewalls seem to be set as block all incoming but don't block outgoing. I suppose this is to make up for the mass amount of people that don't know how to computer. Of course, most of any infections are because a person clicks on something or goes to a website.

    The link still doesn't work for me... It is probably because my Live account isn't a traditional one... I don't think I have email associated with it. If you could take a screenshot and upload it to an image hosting site like Photobucket or Imgur, it may help others who do not have an email there come up with some ideas. For example, if it is just an image, some browsers (or add-ons) allow you to block single images.

    What is "the application" and how is it installed?
  20. Tripredacus
    Like I said, you probably can't extend a mirror. The WinSxS thing is one example of what could be temporary or unneeded files. Check it out.

    Not to add any confusion to the subject already... but the terms "Windows" is being used interchangeably with "WinPE" which is in the title. My question is what kind of difference is there when booting a WinPE or a real Windows in UEFI mode? Typically, Windows needs extra partitions and special GUIDs to boot properly, but WinPE does not, when booting from any sort of media. Of course, I may be wrong and maybe a regular Windows can boot in UEFI mode from a single partition, but in my testing this hasn't been the case.

    Came across a strange websites with fake Windows 95 messages. There is only 4 pages of it at the time I post this. Here is one example: Or this: The site is safe for work, however some of the things you might find a little creepy. http://windows95tips.com/

    I think I have read about 10 pages of the UEFI 2.3.1 spec.
  24. Tripredacus
    The page can be hidden by providing user account information in the answer file. Which edition of Windows 7 are you using?

    Its funny for sure... I recall a Microsoft KB article once saying that referred to the cause being a "Hardware or Software error." I cannot find it now, as it has likely been revised to read something different. It is still a joke about the office when we can't find the answer to something. Someone will say "It is probably just a hardware or software error."
